All right, the closest I can think of for 8 is Elentari, where ELEPHANT loses H and P, and then we get ELEANT, and then it makes no sense.

#2 - acticle = AN + pirate quoth = AR gives ANAR, but I am not sure where the "pattern comes in. It makes it sound like there is something beyond ANAR. But all that comes to mind are names like Anarion and Anardil, which don't really describe patterns either.

6 sounds like Carnil, as it is "car" as in red and as in vehicle.

'Seven set' suggests Orion. Could it be MENELMACAR, meaning 'Warrior of the sky?' Only because that name seems the closest to indicating power. 'Around' suggests scrambling a synonym of power, but I can't see one.

Even simpler than that: Vala (singular, 'Power') + circa ('around, approximately').
They were of course specifically set by Varda as a warning to Melkor. WILWARIN - The conqueror fights within? Say it shorter, flighty one. ANARRIMA - "Article," quoth the pirate; I am a pattern named for the sun. 3. - Spell the water the old way - with a kick! 4. - Spell it out: N, L, the (archaic), and marry her third. 5. - Go back to noodles with a different filling - sounds like a police siren?! 6. - The east is red - or a vowel vehicle in back. 7. - The first is the least. The pirate agrees, so turn it on its head. ELENTARI - An elephant loses the beginning of its confused happiness, but gains the end of Margreet Zelle - behold the queen! 9. - Rings around the lower back. VALACIRCA - Seven set power around. 11. - A chemical in a swamp? Send the shephard away to find the lamenter. 12. - T. rex bangs it, the first gnomes start to end - this comes first. hS |

6. Borgil? Bor(n) means 'red' and Bor was an Easterling. Gil means 'star'.

Well, nothing seems to match the whole clue. Vehicle in the back would suggest Carrac or something...

But if 'the' is 'ye', then 4 is Enelye, wife of the founder of the Third tribe aka Teleri.

A quick hintthrough of the remaining clues:
3. - Spell the water the old way - with a kick! Two words of this are a straight clue; the rest is orthographic. 5. - Go back to noodles with a different filling - sounds like a police siren?! 'different filling' indicates one letter has been changed. 6. - The east is red - or a vowel vehicle in back. Everything after the dash is just me spelling out the word; it can be broken into four parts (and you already know that 'vehicle' = car). 7. - The first is the least. The pirate agrees, so turn it on its head. "The first is | the east. The pirate agrees | so turn it on its head". The last part is neither straight nor cryptic; probably best to ignore it. 9. - Rings around the lower back. The cryptic clue here is 3 words long and points to a single English word. 11. - A chemical in a swamp? Send the shepherd away to find the lamenter. The misspelling of 'shepherd' was unintentional. ^_^' Find two words and then remove one; there's only so many 'shepherd' options in Middle-earth, right? 12. - T. rex bangs it, the first gnomes start to end - this comes first. The T. rex in question is not the dinosaur. hS |

Right , so Maglor is the answer.
agent - ent = ag, which is also the chemical symbol for silver. I can't see the swamp bit, so probably not that...unless...
